The first of many

Description

This was the first dress I ever made! I’m very happy with the result: the different look and the freedom of movements it allows. I used a Polyester fabric with a silky touch (I have no idea of its proper name). Following the instructions, it took me quite a while to put the numerous pieces of A4 paper together, but once done, I found it rather simple to cut and sew it. The dress came out a bit too large on the waist (probably due to inaccurate cutting) so I used a black strip of fabric as a belt – it corrected the problem and gave a nice shape to my waist line!

hi ellen, I’m sorry, I marked your last comment as inappropriate!!! I didn’t mean it and now don’t know how to cancel it… Please forgive the gaffe! I saw your dress based on the same pattern, it looks beautiful! I was impressed with your skills, joining the two fabrics in a geometric cut, so precise on the details. Very fine work! Cheers
